Wig wonder

Wigs, and especially woeful ones, are more than easy targets for merriment to say the least; however, whilst it might well be easy to insist that, finding oneself half hairless, it’d be a simple procedure of unceremoniously shaving it all off and coming over all Kojak, for those with cauliflower ears or unusually contoured craniums, a toupee at least must surely be a tad tempting.

But such understandable contemplations aside, it’s baffling in the extreme to imagine what kind of bloke could possibly consider complementing a man-made fibre bouffant with an equally fake beard.

On Sundays, it would seem, even superheroes like to spend some time partaking in a spot of playfulness in the park.

Double-decker dogs

With pushchairs for pampered pets in Tokyo not really all that rare, it presumably makes some kind of sense, if one has a couple of canines of course, to traipse them round in tandem.

Fascist fashion?

Baseball caps or warmer woolly affairs in winter are all well and good, but there’s definitely a certain something about a few of the more traditional forms of headwear — items that somehow hark back to a bygone era, when society and sensibilities were slightly different.

Or especially dissimilar in fact in some circumstances.
